Sources: Journal of the Senate of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania which Commenced . . . on the Fourth Day of January, 1848, vol. 2; pages 85-87. Public Ledger (Philadelphia) 2 October 1847. Niles Register 73:165 (13 November 1847).Votes marked "Castle of Perote" were cast by occupation troops from Pennsylvania during the Mexican War. Abijah Morrison received 3 votes in Warren County. George M. Keim received 1 vote in the city or county of Philadelphia. Two scattering votes were reported from the city or county of Philadelphia without identification. The official return reported a total statewide vote of 146,081 for Shunk, of which 16,510 were cast in Philadelphia City and County and reported as a single number. However, the Philadelphia Public Ledger (11 October 1848) and Niles Weekly Register 73:165 (13 November 1847) reported city and county separately for a total of 16,610. The official return appears to reflect an error in addition in the Senate Journal. This table uses the separate city and county reports and a state total of 146181 for Shunk.(Revised 10 March 2003)
